A visionary new master class in cooking
that distills decades of professional experience into just four simple
elements, from the woman declared “America’s next great cooking teacher” by Alice
Waters.

In
the tradition of The Joy of Cooking and How to Cook Everything comes Salt, Fat,
Acid, Heat, an ambitious new approach to cooking by a major new culinary voice.
Chef and writer Samin Nosrat has taught everyone from professional chefs to middle
school kids to author Michael Pollan to cook using her revolutionary, yet
simple, philosophy. Master the use of just four elements—Salt, which enhances
flavor; Fat, which delivers flavor and generates texture; Acid, which balances
flavor; and Heat, which ultimately determines the texture of food—and anything
you cook will be delicious. By explaining the hows and whys of good cooking,
Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat will teach and inspire a new generation of cooks how to
confidently make better decisions in the kitchen and cook delicious meals with
any ingredients, anywhere, at any time.
